The combination of warmth and racing performance is tough to achieve, because insulation usually results in a bulkier garment. The Souplesse Thermal Jersey is both fast and warm. This limited edition version features a unique collage design that takes inspiration from some of the most famous roads in the professional sport, from the Mur de Huy to Alpe d’Huez. Made from a thick, insulating fabric with a fleecy brushed back inner for on-skin comfort, this long sleeved jersey is cut in our Race fit. It should be reasonably tight to ensure nothing flaps in the wind and slows you down. Further speed advantages come in the form of bonded back shoulder seams, with none at all on the front, as well as a new rear pocket construction that lies completely flat when not filled – you’ll cut straight through the wind. Designed for winter training when skies darken earlier, there are reflective elements all over the jersey, as well as headphone loops, and an easy-use VISLON® zip.
